Cricket Heroes - testing & feedback

[kurtkz]

@Pat: Yup, will do. Just finalising sim stuff and then I'll get back to dev on the main game.

@dancingmongoose: Crap. I thought that issue was finally resolved. It's being caused by some changes I made in the last version. Will fix it up and retest in a bit.

 

[dancingmongoose]

Opened the bowling and got a second over. Yes!

Life will be complete if Australia can now take 8/0 and tie the test

 

[kurtkz]

Hahahahaha, glad that bit worked

IMHO Australia picked the wrong squad. Lyon, Hughes and Watson shouldn't be there. If they make some changes I rate they could walk away with a tied series.

So much for those new cameras, nothings changed with the cameras at all

 

[kurtkz]

@rushankz: Hmm, it might be a permission error. I'm going to upload a fix for that a little later today.

----------

@dancingmongoose: The cameras should be there...when bowling, you should see the game from the fielder's perspective. In T20's, when batting, the camera should outside the boundary and low.

 

[dancingmongoose]

Nope, and this is with a completely new match. Although I could have been incredible talented and downloaded the patch but not applied it...
Cause the captain only gave me two overs despite conceding 6 runs while another bowler bowled 4 and conceded 33, it was 31 from 3 at one stage...
I'll 'repatch' and see how smart I was

----------

Nevermind, my fault. New cameras look awesome!

 

[kurtkz]

@dancingmongoose: *Phew* Thought I'd undone some code for a second!

 

[dancingmongoose]

Sorry if I gave you a heart attack
Just one thing though, first ball and I'm fielding at a square cover, the ball is hit in the air straight to me, I back away and let mid off run around only for him to stand there and let it hit his thigh. THAT WAS MY CATCH DAMN IT!

----------

Oh and it looks like you've animated me to run up with the bowler, I can see myself jigging around if the angles right until the bowler reaches his delivery stride

 

[kurtkz]

Doh. Good spot. Just need tweak the fielding quickly (the reaction time is based on the distance amongst other things). Hmm, I also need to do a dropped catch animation.

----------

EDIT: I'm going to call it Wobbly-Cam(tm). Seriously, though I missed that as well. Is it very disorienting?

 

[dancingmongoose]

Mmmm animation, I'll send you a PM shortly about what my mind has conjured up
I'm a little concerned that I haven't bowled yet and it's the 12th over, I set myself as an opening bowler (even though I'm a leggie, irl I bowl best when I open).
Ah here we go, bowling the 13th.
And I've never had an lbw shout go my way, as a matter of fact I have never seen an lbw in live view. Either the umpires are terrible beyond measure or you might want to have a little look. Some of my shouts have been pretty plumb to my eyes

----------

I wouldn't say disorientating but it is sometimes not aligned to the fielder properly, more from the perspective of someone standing to my left

----------

HOLD ON I just bowled and the batsman swept me for a single, now he's still on strike.
Got him out 2 balls later though, didn't pick the arm ball and holed out to deep square leg

----------

Just had another dead lbw turned down

 

[Pat]

I have had this issue intermittently where the batsman never swapped ends after taking a single.

ok bro no problem

 

[dancingmongoose]

The camera in the dugout bounces with the bowlers jump

 

[kurtkz]

Hahaha, my bad, my bad. I'll fix it up

When the batsman took a single (but stayed on strike) was 1 added to the score?
